Show Notes

Have you checked the price of college lately? It can be serious sticker shock. According to educationdata.org, it costs more than $100,000 for an in-state school, and more than $220,000 for a private university. Whether you have a toddler or a teenager, it’s never too late to start planning. Raising Me host Adrienne Stein and the Manager of College Access and Outreach at FAME talk about where to start, even if you already have a high schooler, and why even small amounts can make a big difference.
